Best Week Ever

So Scott's 30th birthday really turned out great. If I could take credit for it...I would! Here's how our week in STL went...
Monday - Scott went fishing with his little brother and caught TONS of fish. Came back bright red but loved every hour out there.
Tuesday - Zoo with the boys. Both boys were very good. We saw monkeys (Ben's favorite) and "nakes" (Luke's favorite?) It wasn't very hot that week so we didn't sweat to death walking around the zoo.
Wednesday - The whole fam was together for Scott's steak dinner. Scott got Cardinal tickets for a game next weekend. It was a great night to be outside and everyone was having a great time until...Luke was more focused on the lightning bug he was trying to catch than the 4 foot drop on to concrete below him. He ended up with a fairly good sized goose egg and his daddy stressed out and kept asking if we should take him to the ER. But Luke was a brave kid and the swelling was gone by the next afternoon so it was alright. He's been using a lot more words lately so we think he might have shook something loose. =P
Thursday - Grant's farm with Shawn, Anna, (and Baby D). Luke loved riding the "train" and he made us wait until he had pet every baby goat (totally Uncle Josh's influence!).
Friday - We were scheduled to leave in the afternoon...until Scott found out his favorite band of all time was playing a FREE concert on the riverfront in STL. We headed down there with Jen, Matt, and Cole. We met Jeff and Sally and Shawn and Anna (and Baby D). It was nice and laid back and aside from the very long line to get back on the Metro it was a great time.
All in all, Scott couldn't have fit anymore of his favorite things into the week, so I hope he feels like we celebrated his 30 years!
